    You can do trial and error. You are not commited to any broker you deal with. Try one, then use him again or not.

    Yeah I agree but with the media screaming about the truck and driver shortage, the outrageous moves by the brokers to get bigger cuts from some and a lot of people just jumping into ownership, this is just another cycle.


    if you have four years, did you talk to the brokers and customers you already have to see what services you can provide them as a team?

    I would be asking for good mechanics instead. Team drivers go from coast to coast 52 times a year.
    That is a lot of abuse on your truck.
